Change Details

The similar-users service is at present unowned and unmaintained. There are some outstanding tasks that currently relate to maintenance work on it that will probably not get done in the short-term. The service should be decommissioned for the time being until its use is clearly planned. The SimilarEditors extension (which uses the service itself) has been undeployed as it requires further effort put into it. I think we have clear justification to for the time being removing the service from k8s. Related issues: * {T344742} * {T338104}
